_Starting with PHP Monitor 6.0, you do not need to have Laravel Valet installed for PHP Monitor to work. To get access to all features of PHP Monitor however, installing Valet is **recommended**._

If you don't need to customize your local PHP setup and just want an easy and ready-to-go environment to start coding, [Laravel Herd](https://herd.laravel.com) is probably more than sufficient for many use cases. They also offer paid features that may be useful to you or your team.
If you don't need to customize your local PHP setup and just want an easy and ready-to-go environment to start coding, [Laravel Herd](https://herd.laravel.com) is a great alternative to PHP Monitor, since it does not rely on Homebrew. The app also offers paid features that may be useful to you or your team.
At this point, many people enjoy using Herd. However, Herd may not be for everyone, which is why other solutions to run PHP locally exist. If you need more customization and flexibility I encourage you to consider PHP Monitor in combination with Laravel Valet.
If you want to get as close as you can to a real server environment your best bet is probably to use a Docker container. I _highly_ recommend that you try different setups, and use what you like best.
